Cant receive game center invitations
I am trying to develop a realtime multiplayer game for IOS by using cocos2d by using the tutorial on http://www.raywenderlich.com/3325/how-to-make-a-simple-multiplayer-game-with-game-center-tutorial-part-22
Everything works fine including auto matching with a random player but inviting a friend doesn't work because other device cannot receive an invitation.
When I clicked on invite friends button and then selected a friend by using the standard game center interface, it says waiting (forever) and nothing happens. My friend cannot receive an invitation from game center (no notifications).
I can invite a friend by using nearby friends functionality (when this functionality is enabled on both devices) but no invitation notification when nearby friends is disabled.
I spent hours and hours for searching on Google, found similar cases but no solution.
Some early feedback about possible answers:
Here is my Game center helper class Header file:
#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>
#import <GameKit/GameKit.h>
@protocol GCHelperDelegate
- (void)matchStarted;
- (void)matchEnded;
- (void)match:(GKMatch *)match didReceiveData:(NSData *)data
fromPlayer:(NSString *)playerID;
- (void)inviteReceived;
@end
@interface GCHelper : NSObject <GKMatchmakerViewControllerDelegate, GKMatchDelegate>{
BOOL gameCenterAvailable;
BOOL userAuthenticated;
UIViewController *presentingViewController;
GKMatch *match;
BOOL matchStarted;
id <GCHelperDelegate> delegate;
NSMutableDictionary *playersDict;
GKInvite *pendingInvite;
NSArray *pendingPlayersToInvite;
NSMutableArray *unsentScores;
}
@property (retain) GKInvite *pendingInvite;
@property (retain) NSArray *pendingPlayersToInvite;
@property (assign, readonly) BOOL gameCenterAvailable;
@property (retain) NSMutableDictionary *playersDict;
@property (retain) UIViewController *presentingViewController;
@property (retain) GKMatch *match;
@property (assign) id <GCHelperDelegate> delegate;
- (void)findMatchWithMinPlayers:(int)minPlayers maxPlayers:(int)maxPlayers
viewController:(UIViewController *)viewController
delegate:(id<GCHelperDelegate>)theDelegate;

}
@end
And Finally this is how I call the game center from my game layer (I tried two different options but none of them worked)
Option 1
[[GCHelper sharedInstance] findMatchWithMinPlayers:2 maxPlayers:2 viewController: [[[UIApplication sharedApplication] keyWindow] rootViewController] delegate: self];
Option 2
AppController *app = (AppController*) [[UIApplication sharedApplication] delegate];
UINavigationController *viewController = [app navController];
[[GCHelper sharedInstance] findMatchWithMinPlayers:2 maxPlayers:2 viewController:viewController delegate:self];
Any help will be appreciated. Thanks in advance...
I've been dealing with multiplayer for a few months now and invitations have been a real issue for me....and like you, I used Ray's tutorial to get me started. I realized today that Ray's code has a bug in it where invites will not work if both clients have the GKMatchmakerView up. You need to dismiss it when you first receive the invite with something along the lines of:
[gcdelegate.viewController dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES
completion:^{
GKMatchmakerViewController *mmvc = [[GKMatchmakerViewController alloc] initWithInvite:pendingInvite];
mmvc.matchmakerDelegate = self;
[gcdelegate.viewController presentModalViewController:mmvc animated:YES];
self.pendingInvite = nil;
self.pendingPlayersToInvite = nil;
boo_invite=true;
}];
Ok, it seems that it again works without any changes in our code or network settings. I opened ticket to Apple support, bug records, etc... and it seems that some of them worked...
Now we understand that it was a bug in Game Center sandbox. As far as I see, sanbox version of game center is not that stable and people in Apple don't give enough attention to this service. There is also no way to check the system status on the internet.
I'm still continuing to discuss with Apple support in order to understand the reason and will share the all conversation here when it's completed.
Happy coding...
